An interactive sex toy with sensory feedback may be described herein. Ina preferred embodiment of the present invention, as the sex toy isinserted into a user's vagina, anus or other cavity, the sex toy isconfigured to be able to feel/detect the pressure on different points.The vibrations may react according to the strength of pressure, based onpre-defined settings. The settings may also be programmable by a user,such as via a wired or wireless connection to a controller or computingdevice (e.g., smart phone). For example, the deeper the sex toy isinserted into a cavity, activating more pressure points, the device maybe configured to generate stronger vibrations. In other examples, thepressure points may detect contractions in the cavity, which mayindicate increased stimulation, excitement or arousal in the user, andbe configured to generate stronger or tailored vibrations in response tosuch detected pressure variations.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a pressure sensorfrom the sex toy may be configured to send a signal to a second toy(e.g., a second sex toy in use by a second user). For instance, thesecond toy may be configured to react to the pressure detected by thefirst sex toy (e.g., depth of insertion of the first sex toy).

FIG. 1 is an example of a sex toy with sensory feedback. In thisexemplary embodiment, the sex toy 100 may have four trigger buttons 101,102, 103, and 104. Additionally, the sex toy 100 may have a printedcircuit board (PCB) with conductive needles 105 (use for connecting acharging line). Alternative embodiments may utilize additional or fewertrigger buttons, or alternative control means other than a PCB, andembodiments of the present invention are contemplated for use with anynumber of trigger buttons, or types of control means. Further, while forthe purpose of description here, the triggers buttons are individualbuttons, in alternative embodiments, other sensors could be used, suchas capacitive sensors or pressure pads. One of ordinary skill in the artwould appreciate that there are numerous types of sensors that could beused with embodiments of the present invention, and embodiments of thepresent invention are contemplated for use with any appropriate type ofsensor.

FIG. 2A is a first example exploded view of the sex toy with sensoryfeedback. The sex toy may be made up of a silicone case 201, a main bodyupper shell 202, and a main body lower shell 203. The main body uppershell 202 may include four holes 204(a), 205(a), 206(a), and 207(a) forthe four trigger buttons 204, 205, 206, and 207. Under the four triggerbuttons 204-207 may be two PCBs 208 and 209 (PCBs 208 and 209 may becombined into one PCB). Alternative embodiments may utilize materialsother than silicone, and further, depending on the number and type oftrigger buttons, the main body may be comprised of additional or fewerholes, suitable for the type of sensors being used.

In this preferred embodiment, the two PCBS 208 and 209 may be connectedto the main PCB 210. On one side of the main PCB 210 may be a battery211. The battery 211 may be rechargeable. On the other side of the mainPCB 210 may be a light 212. Attached to the battery 211 may be a PCBwith conductive needles 213. The battery 211 may be covered by a backcover 216.

In other embodiments, wherein the series of trigger buttons are partlyin the main body upper shell and the main body lower shell (for example,some of the trigger buttons may be on the main body upper shell, therest may be on the main body lower shell). The arrangement of the seriesof trigger buttons may be symmetrical or staggered (for example,symmetrical arrangement may mean that when the sex toy is thrusting intoa woman or man's body, two buttons, one of which is in the main bodyupper shell and the other is in the main body lower shell may betriggered at the same time and stagger arrangement means when the sextoy is thrusting into a woman or man's body, all of those triggerbuttons may be triggered one by one).

In this exemplary embodiment, the sex toy may include a motor 214. Themotor 214 may be covered with a motor cover 215. The motor 214 may beconnected to trigger buttons 204-207 via the PCBs 208 and 209. The motor214 may turn on when at least one of the trigger buttons 204-207 aredepressed.

FIG. 2B is a second example exploded view of the sex toy with sensoryfeedback. In this embodiment, the sex toy may be made up of a siliconecase 201, a silicone cushion 202, a main body upper shell 203, a mainbody lower shell 204, and a back cover 217. The main body upper shell203 may include four holes 205(a) 206(a), 207(a), and 208(a) for thefour trigger buttons 205, 206, 207, and 208. Under each of the fourtrigger buttons 205-208 may be mechanical springs 205(b), 206(b),207(b), and 208(b) and conductive foam plastics 205(c), 206(c), 207(c),and 208(c).

The sex toy may also include two printed circuit boards (PCBs) 209 and210. These two PCBs 209 and 210 may be located under the trigger buttons205-208. The two PCBS 209 and 210 may be connected to the main PCB 211.On one side of the main PCB 211 may be a battery 212. The battery 212may be rechargeable. On the other side of the main PCB 211 may be alight 213. Attached to the battery 212 may be a PCB with conductiveneedles 214.

The sex toy may also include a motor 215. The motor 215 may be coveredwith a motor cover 216. The motor 215 may be connected to triggerbuttons 205-208 via the PCBs 209 and 210. The motor 215 may turn on whenat least one of the trigger buttons 205-208 are depressed.

FIG. 3 is an example exploded view of the trigger buttons. The triggerbuttons 305-308 may have mechanical springs 305(b)-308(b) underneath.The mechanical springs 305(b)-308(b) may have two ends, one connected tothe trigger buttons 305-308 and one connected to conductive foamplastics 305(c)-308(c). There may be a gap between the conductive foamplastics 305(c)-308(c) and the PCBs 309 and 310. In a preferredembodiment, on a condition that the trigger buttons 305(a)-305(b) aredepressed (e.g., via pressure from the user's vagina), the conductivefoam plastics 305(c)-308(c) and the PCBs 309 and 310 make an electricalconnection causing the motor (seen in FIG. 2) to start.

The PCBs 309 and 310 may include conductive elements. The conductiveelements may have two parts that are non-conductive 311 and 312. Oncethe trigger buttons 305(a)-308(a) are depressed (e.g., via pressure fromthe user's vagina), the conductive foam plastics 305(c)-308(c) and thePCBs 309 and 310 may be connected with each other, and in turn bothnon-conductive parts 311 and 312 may be covered by the conductive foamplastics 305(c)-308(c) to make an electrical connection.

The sex toy may be able to feel the pressure on different points, forexample, at each of the four trigger points. The level of vibrations mayreact according the pressure, based on pre-defined settings. Forexample, the deeper the sex toy is inserted, activating more pressurepoints (or trigger points), the stronger the vibrations generated by themotor will be. Additionally or alternatively, the sex toy may beprogrammable by the user, such as via a controller or computing device(for example, a smart phone) connected to the sex toy via a wired orwireless connection.

The following chart is an example of the pressure levels felt by the sextoy:

Trigger button 1 Trigger button 2 Trigger button 3 Trigger button 4Pressure level Non-conduction Non-conduction Non-conductionNon-conduction No pressure Conduction Non-conduction Non-conductionNon-conduction Level 1 Conduction Conduction Non-conductionNon-conduction Level 2 Conduction Conduction Conduction Non-conductionLevel 3 Conduction Conduction Conduction Conduction Level 4

When there is no pressure exerted on the sex toy, none of the triggerbuttons may be depressed, and the two parts of the conductive elementmay be non-conductive 311 and 312, so that the conductive element on thePCBs are non-conductive. When there is a pressure level of 1 on the sextoy, only the first trigger button may be depressed. Therefore only theconductive element under the first trigger button may be engagedresulting in a lower level of vibration. When there is a pressure levelof 2 on the sex toy, both the first and second trigger buttons may bedepressed. Therefore the conductive elements under the first and secondtrigger button may be engaged resulting in a higher level of vibration.When there is a pressure level of 3 on the sex toy, the first, second,and third trigger buttons may be depressed. Therefore the conductiveelements under the first, second, and third trigger buttons may beengaged resulting in an even higher level of vibration (higher than thatof level 2). When there is a pressure level of 4 on the sex toy, allfour trigger buttons may be depressed. Therefore the conductive elementsunder all four trigger buttons may be engaged resulting in the highestlevel of vibration.

The interactive sex toy with sensory feedback described herein may senda signal to another person's sex toy based on the pressure sensors. Thereactions of the other person's sex toy may react to the depth ofinsertion of the first sex toy. As illustrated in the followingexamples, the pressure at a first user's sex toy (female) may cause areaction at a second user's sex toy (male) when used in tandem.

FIG. 4 is an example of the sex toy with no pressure exerted. In thisexemplary embodiment, the sex toy 401 is not inserted into a user'svagina and feels no pressure. As a result the sex toy 401 does not causea reaction at a second user's sex toy 402.

FIG. 5 is an example of the sex toy with a pressure level of 1 exerted.In this exemplary embodiment, the sex toy 501 is inserted into a user'svagina hitting the first trigger point. As a result the sex toy 501causes a pressure reaction at a second user's sex toy 502.

FIG. 6 is an example of the sex toy with a pressure level of 2 exerted.In the exemplary embodiment, the sex toy 601 is inserted into a user'svagina hitting the first and second trigger points. As a result the sextoy 601 causes a pressure reaction at the second user's sex toy 602. Forinstance, the level 2 pressure reaction at the second user's sex toy 602may be greater than the level 1 pressure reaction.

FIG. 7 is an example of the sex toy with a pressure level of 3 exerted.In the exemplary embodiment, the sex toy 701 is inserted into a user'svagina hitting the first, second, and third trigger points. As a resultthe sex toy 701 causes a pressure reaction at the second user's sex toy702. For instance, the level 3 pressure reaction at the second user'ssex toy 702 may be greater than the level 2 pressure reaction.

FIG. 8 is an example of the sex toy with a pressure level of 4 exerted.In the exemplary embodiment, the sex toy 801 is inserted into a user'svagina hitting all four of the trigger points. As a result the sex toy801 causes a pressure reaction at the second user's sex toy 802. Forinstance, the level 4 pressure reaction at the second user's sex toy 802may be greater than the level 3 pressure reaction.

There are multiple ways for the interactive sex toy with sensoryfeedback to communicate with a second user. A first user's sex toy maytransmit signals to a second user's sex toy to react in response to thefirst user's masturbation. In response the second user's sex toy maytransmit signals to the first user's sex toy to react to the seconduser's masturbation.

In a first example, the sex toy may send a signal to another user's sextoy via a smart phone or other computing device (e.g., laptop, tabletPC, wearable computing apparatus). One of ordinary skill in the artwould appreciate that there are numerous types of computing devices thatcould be used with embodiments of the present invention, and embodimentsof the present invention are contemplated for use with any appropriatecomputing device.

FIG. 9 is an example of two users' sex toys communicating via cellphones to activate their respective sex toys. A first user 901 (female)may utilize a first sex toy 902. When the first sex toy 902 is insertedinto the first user's vagina, the pressure sensors may react to theapplied pressure and send a signal to the first user's cell phone 903.The data may then be transmitted to a second user's cell phone 904. Thesecond user's sex toy 905 may receive a signal from the second user'scell phone 904 and react on the second user (male) 906 in response tothe first user's 901 applied pressure. Additionally, the signals maytransmit from both the first user's sex toy to the second user's sex toyand vice versa.

In a second example, the sex toy may send a signal to another user's sextoy via the internet, for example, a dating system or the like. FIG. 10is an example of two users' sex toys communicating via the internet. Afirst user 1001 (female) may utilize a first sex toy 1002. For example,when the first sex toy 1002 is inserted into the first user's vagina,the pressure sensors may react to the applied pressure and transmit asignal to the first user's cell phone 1003. The first user's cell phone1003 may transmit the received signal to the network 1004. The network1004 may transmit the received signal to the internet 1005. The internet1005 may transmit the received signal to the second user's network 1006.The second user's network 1006 may transmit the received signal to thesecond user's cell phone 1007. The second user's sex toy 1008 mayreceive the signal from the second user's cell phone 1007 and react onthe second user 1009 (male) in response to the first user's 1001 appliedpressure. Additionally, the signals may transmit from both the firstuser's sex toy to the second user's sex toy and vice versa.

In a third example, the sex toy may send a signal to several otherusers' sex toys via the internet, for example, to a cloud server with abroadcast platform. FIG. 11 is an example of several users' sex toyscommunicating via the internet. A first user 1101 (female, for example amodel in a broadcast platform) may utilize a first sex toy 1102. Whenthe first sex toy 1102 is inserted into the first user's vagina (orother cavity), the pressure sensors may react to the applied pressureand transmit a signal to the first user's cell phone 1103. The firstuser's cell phone 1103 may transmit the received signal to a cloudserver 1104. The cloud server 1104 may distribute the signal to severalother users or store the data for a later use. The cloud server 1104 maytransmit the received signal to the other user's cell phones 1105(a),1105(b), and 1105(c). The other user's sex toys 1106(a), 1106(b), and1106(c) may receive the signal from the other user's cell phones1105(a), 1105(b), and 1105(c) and react on the other users 1107(a),1107(b), and 1107(c) (male) in response to the first user's 1101 appliedpressure. Additionally, the signals may transmit from both the firstuser's sex toy to the other users' sex toys and vice versa.

FIG. 12 is a first exemplary method for using the interactive sex toywith sensory feedback. A first user 1200 may transmit a signal viadevice 1201. The signal may be received at the network 1202 and mayeither be stored on a server 1203 or transmitted to a second user'sdevice 1204. The second user's device 1204 may transmit the signal tothe sex toy 1205, causing the sex toy 1205 to react to the input fromthe first user 1201.

FIG. 13 is a second exemplary method for using the interactive sex toywith sensory feedback. A first user's sex toy 1301 may transmit a signalto a first user's device 1302. The signal may be received at the network1303 and may either be stored on a server 1304 or transmitted to asecond user's device 1305. The second user's device 1305 may transmitthe signal to the second user's sex toy 1306, causing the sex toy 1305to react to the first user's sex toy 1301. Additionally, the signals maytransmit from both the first user's sex toy to the other users' sex toysand vice versa.

As described herein, the interactive sex toy with sensory feedback maybe used via the internet.

Further, while many of the examples given herein describe interactionbetween a female using a first sex toy and a male using a second sextoy, embodiments of the present invention are contemplated for anycombination of user type and gender. For instance, two female userscould participate in a manner where a first sex toy acts as controllerand provides pressure level information to a second sex toy insertedinto a cavity of the second user. One of ordinary skill in the art wouldappreciate that there are numerous combination that could beaccomplished through use of the apparatus and methods detailed herein.

FIG. 14 is a flow chart for engaging in a sexual encounter using the sextoy with sensory feedback with a payment system. A user may first createan account 1401. Once the user creates an account, they may define theparameters of virtual currency 1402, for example, how much services costand what kind of currency is accepted. If the user does not have therequired virtual currency 1404, then the user's session ends 1408.

If the user has the required virtual currency 1403, a determination maybe made if there is an existing queue of user's reactions. If there isnot an existing queue 1406, the reaction is added to a queue. If this isan existing queue 1405, then the user and another user interact usingthe sex toy with sensory feedback. Once the users have finished theirsession 1407, the chat session may end 1408.

FIG. 15 is a flow chart for engaging in a sexual encounter using the sextoy with sensory feedback with a payment system. A user may first createan account 1501. Once the user creates an account, the user may rechargeto get virtual currency 1502. The user may then select a chat room 1503.Once the user selects a chat room, the user may either may a virtualcurrency payment 1504 or not 1505. If the user does not make a virtualcurrency payment 1505, then the user's session ends 1509.

If the user does make a virtual currency payment 1504, a determinationmay be made if there is an existing queue of user's reactions. If thereis not an existing queue 1507, the reaction is added to a queue. If thisis an existing queue 1506, then the user and another user interact usingthe sex toy with sensory feedback. Once the users have finished theirsession 1508, the chat session may end 1509.

FIG. 16 is an example flow chart where only one user has a sex toy. Theflow chart may include a first user 1601, a first user device 1602, forexample, a cell phone, a network/server 1603, a second user 1606, a sextoy 1605, and a second user device 1604. The second user 1606 mayactuate the sex toy 1605. The pressure sensors of the sex toy 1605 maydetect the physical pressure 1607 and transmit these pressures to thesecond user's device 1604. The second user's device 1604 may convert thephysical pressure into pressure parameter instructions and transmit 1608the instructions to the network/server 1603. The network/server 1603 mayreceive the instructions, convert them to text or pictures, and transmitthem to the first user's device 1602.

The second user 1707 may actuatethe sex toy 1706. The pressure sensors of the sex toy 1706 may detectphysical pressure 1708 and transmit these pressures to the second user'sdevice 1705. The second user's device 1705 may convert the physicalpressure into pressure parameter instructions and transmit 1709 theinstruction to the network/server 1704. The network/server 1704 mayreceive the instructions and transmit them 1710 to the first user'sdevice 1703. The first sex toy 1702 may be actuated by the first userdevice 1703 and follow the instructions 1711 from the network/server1704.

The first user sex toy 1702 may generate wobble parameters and transmitthese parameters to the first user's device 1703. The first user device1703 may then transmit 1712 these parameters to the network/server 1704.The network/server 1704 may receive the parameters and transmit them1713 to the second user device 1705. The second sex toy 1706 may beactuated by the second user device 1705 and follow the instructions 1714from the network/server 1704.

FIG. 18 is an example flow chart of communication between a first andsecond user. A first and second user may create accounts and begininteractive entertainment without sensory feedback 1801. The first usermay define parameters of virtual currency and the second user mayrecharge to get virtual currency 1802. On a condition that actuatinginteractive entertainment with sensory feedback is satisfied 1803 (forexample, in a broadcast platform scenario, if a user transmits a certainamount of tips to a model, then the condition of actuating interactiveentertainment with sensory feedback is satisfied), a first user's devicemay actuate a first user's sex toy and the pressure sensors on the sextoy may detect physical pressure 1804. The first user's device mayconvert the physical pressure into pressure parameters instructions andtransmit them to the network 1805. A second user's device may get thepressure parameters instructions from the network and transmit them to asecond user's sex toy to actuate the second user's sex toy based on thereceived pressure parameter instructions. On a condition that thevirtual currency is not running out 1806, the pressure sensor on thefirst user's sex toy may continue to detect physical pressure 1804 andconvert the physical pressure into pressure parameters instructions andtransmit them to the network 1805. On a condition that the virtualcurrency is running out 1806, the first and second user may continueentertainment without sensory feedback 1807 and the interactiveentertainment may end 1808.

On a condition that actuating interactive entertainment sensory feedbackis not satisfied 1803, the first and second user may continueentertainment without sensory feedback 1807 and the interactiveentertainment may end 1808.
